John lee is the reason I play the blues.
Simple the best!!!!!!!!!!! Dont forghet the blues 🤟🎙🎸
JLH alone and badder than any soul could ever dream to be. His voice thunders in the clouds man with great authenticity!
Well said
These endless commercials givin me the blues
His best albums, and there are only four or five on Spotify, are when he is totally alone. This is one
Blessed to have had him ✊
Thanks for another terrific addition to your stream. Sounds tremendous.
It touches my soul!
what a voice ...I'm sure Jimi H got a lot from this unique man

12:13 John Lee Hooker, I’ll never get out of these blues alive 2/6/76, Live at Hunter College:
Never, never, I’ll never get out of these blues alive
I’ll never never never, I’ll never oh get out of these blues alive
If I live, oh if I live to be a hundred, if I live to be a hundred,
I’m gonna die with the blues
I never never be the same again, no I wont
No I never never never, I never be the same again,
You know I never I never I never get outta these blues alive
Drinkin black coffee, oh lawd smokin cigarettes the whole night
I’m drinkin black coffee, I’m drinkin, drinkin black coffee
And you know smoking cigarettes all night long
No use in me laying down, laying down in a room
Cause I know I caint go to sleep, hush,
You know I thought I heard, I thought I heard,
I thought I heard my doorbell ring
You know it may be my baby, may be my baby
I thought it was my baby, oh lawd comin home,
You know, 4 o’clock in the morning
Hadn’t even now closed my eyes, I thought I heard my doorbell ring
You know when I got to the door, you know it wasn’t nobody there
Have mercy
You know walkin the floor, I’m walkin the floor, walkin the floor
Jumpin, jumpin, jumpin, jumpin, jumpin over my bed, over my bed,
I caint go to sleep, I caint go to sleep, I caint go to sleep,
Oh lawd no use in me layin down in a room, in a room, oh
I never, I never, I never, I never, I, I never get outta these blues alive
If I live to be a hundred, you know I still have the blues,
If I live to be a hundred, they gonna bury me, bury me with the blues
They gonna bury me, they will bury me with the blues
They will bury me with the blues
